Do they have this in the States? Because I want to watch right now!

And also this one "If you ever decide to talk about someone behind their back, they will almost always turn out to have been standing just behind the open door, listening" happens to me ALL. THE. TIME.

Aww.. this brings back memories. My mum used to watch the lunchtime Neighbours when she was pregnant with me, and then I watched it every day when I came home from school. I wanted to live there because the weather was always so beautiful. Oh, and because as a small child I was in love with Billy Kennedy…
I haven't seen it in years though, I worry I wouldn't be able to catch up. Are Harold and Lou still there?

Fun Fact: Neighbours is apparently more popular in Britain than in Australia, where it's filmed.

I'm told that this is why it wasn't canned many years ago!

Hmm, a good point, Fi… Caroline did sleep with her sister's husband, but that's not even on the same scale of evil as Cam/Rob/whichever one it was bringing down an entire plane in bid to kill his father. I'm guessing they are indeed the exception that proves the rule.

I can't wait for Dee to come back. That storyline's going to rock.

Dee will definitely return at some point! I don't recall either of the Alessi twins being evil – are they the exception that proves the rule?
And I love the point about children returning with a different face! But that happens to adults sometimes too. And not just in Australian soaps.

Gemma – I am also convinced Dee will return, probably on the day Toadie and Steph get married, because another thing I forgot to mention in the list is that all weddings are filled with drama, and sometimes even death

See 37 is why I'm still convinced Dee will come back at some point.

There are only two songs in Neighbours world too, the 'fairy tale dream come true' one, and 'when will you fall for me'.

I never realised I missed out on so much not watching Neighbours…….. Still, I think I'll continue not to watch it, even thought it's filmed in the city I live in.
